your problem is not focus or willingness, it's being motivated by excitement rather than perfection. it's about the object, take yourself and how you feel out of the equation.
> On an LC-3, the address space is exactly 64KiB. There is no concept of missing memory, all addresses are assumed to exist, no memory detection is needed or possible, and memory mapped IO uses fixed addresses.

> There are no memory management capabilities on the LC-3, no MMU, no paging, no segmentation. In turn there are no memory-related exceptions, page faults or protection faults.

Sounds an awful lot like a Commodore 64, where I got my start. There's plenty to learn before needing to worry about paging, protection, virtualization, device discovery, bus faults, etc.

It sounds like it's not teaching the wrong things like your GTA driving example, but teaching a valid subset, but not the subset you'd prefer.
My takeaway is that it's mostly useful for apple stuff-- why would "platform native" matter on Linux?
okay, thank you for your statement all the same. Have a nice day.
This is an excellent analogy. Aside from “they’re both networks” (which is almost a truism), there’s really nothing in common between an artificial neural network and a brain.

I wouldn't let another human do this.
The DMCA is totally broken, and has been from the beginning. There are no consequences for anyone making a fake claim. However there are severe consequences for someone who receives one and doesn't take action. There are counter-claims processes, but that puts a heavy burden on both the creator and the platform.

I myself am guilty of abusing the DMCA. When I was fighting fraud for eBay and PayPal, if we found someone hosting a phishing site, we would use the DMCA to get them to take it down, claiming they were violating the copyright of the logo. We would send DMCA notices to any host in any country. Most would just oblige. A few would reply and inform us they weren't in the USA.

But it worked because the platforms feared the consequences of not following it, and there was no risk to us.

The DMCA needs fixing by adding severe consequences for incorrect use.

The implementation ends up being a new key gets generated per domain, which is actually what you should be doing with your ssh-keys as well something like "ssh -i server.domain.net server.domain.net"

Because webauthn is such a nonstarter I am actually going to try and half-ass it using SubtleCrypto.sign() and friends. sort of mimic the webauthn api. This is really just a weekend project, nothing important. but I feel really stupid every time I work on it, mainly because of how ridiculous it is to have your key infrastructure managed by the service you are logging into.

However due to domain sandboxing I have half convinced myself it is as secure as using a cookie to auth the person, perhaps even a little better because I never have to see a secret. then fall into despair again on how stupid this whole endeavor is, because I could see the keys anytime I want to. (sighs, shakes fist at the sky) why could you have not made webauthn usable?
> it’s just barebones stack interface thrown in your general direction.

I do not do a ton of low level development, but my impression is that you do not want a demanding interface. You want an interface that is straightforward, doesn't have complex pre & post conditions, and doesn't crash. Leaking 4 bytes per frame is bad but crashing would be worse! You may think you want a library that refuses to function at all unless its called perfectly, but once you're in the trenches you may change your mind.

To my mind, it's a very good sign when there are popular "adapter" libraries. It means the underlying code (Lua) can be used many ways and people have found best practices for different approaches. When I used it I was not working on a game and it would have been worse for us if Lua's interface was "built for games." Being very bare bones and low level allows flexibility and that flexibility ensures a healthy ecosystem.
Totally, it at least seems quite clear it's not happening anywhere near the extent to which it's suspected of happening.

Deepseek just released their frontier model that they trained on 2k GPUs for <$6M. Way cheaper than a lot of the big labs. If the big labs can replicate some of their optimisations we might see some big gains. And I would hope more small labs could then even further shrink the footprint and costs

> Human brains are unpredictable. Look around you.

As it was mentioned by others, we've had thousands of years to better understand how humans can fail. LLMs are black boxes and it never ceases to amaze me how they can fail in such unpredictable ways. Take the following for examples.

Here GPT-4o mini is asked to calculate 2+3+5

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=8707acda-e6d4-4f69-9c09-2cff...

It gets the answer correct, but if you ask it to verify its own answer

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=6d8af370-1ae6-4a36-961d-2902...

it says the response was wrong, and contradicts itself. Now if you ask it to compare all the responses

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=1c162c40-47ea-419d-af7a-a30a...

it correctly identifies that GPT-4o mini was incorrect.

It is this unpredictable nature that makes LLM insanely powerful and scary.

Note: The chat on the beta site doesn't work.
Shocking, but not terribly surprising from a business perspective... From everyone I know who's worked there, the operation was just a thinly veiled wrapper around human accountants. The plan for profitability was that they'd eventually automate the human part away, but eventually never came.

My condolences to the employees who now have a stressful new year.
A little nitpick; a biological neuron is much more complex than it's ml-model equivalent. a simple weighted function cannot fully replicate a neuron.

That's why it's almost certain that a biological brain with a billion synapses outperforms a model with a billion parameters.
This is an awesome resource. This guy Shubham posts great stuff on twitter and linkedin too. Check out in case you haven't.

I have got a lot of my LLM resources through his page. He is a more of a LLM curator and less of a creator but highly recommend.
It’s notable that the prior experiments described have focused on dynamics while the strength of a knot is a question of statics. It would be interesting to see further research into the intuitive understanding of other types of static systems, such as bridges(1) or various cantilever structures, and especially other systems where the dominant forces stem from static friction like in knots.

(1) Based on some very spotty anecdotal data, I wouldn’t be surprised if many people don’t even consider the primary load-bearing structures of many bridge types as crucial to the bridge’s strength but more like purely aesthetical additions.

There are way more integrations in the integration layer, so maybe they should be either shown or a "..." somewhere should tell people that there is more.

Thanks for the response. I've enjoying it and learning a lot. My base in math is a lot weaker though, so it's taken me quite a long time to get through even Fundementals I. I'm almost there. I went into more detail in another comment:

I'm planning on improving my mental math this year too which should help with the speed of the more concrete problems. I love algorithm design so having a stronger base in math will be a big help.
> Responding to calls for taking a break, Matt quoted Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Life’s but a walking shadow, A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

This is a ridiculous way to address the community. There are at least five better Shakespeare quotes he could’ve gone with. From Hamlet alone:

- Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.

- I perchance hereafter shall think meet / To put an antic disposition on

- I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is / southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.

So are you saying people who have CIPA are less intelligent for never having experienced a hot shower? By that same logic, does its ability to experience more colors increase the intelligence of a mantis shrimp?

Perhaps your own internal definition of intelligence simply deviates significantly from the common, "median" definition.
There are some core technologies that should be updated automatically as the cost/benefit is well in favor of updates (by default, but with an option to turn it off). But the fact that we're at the point of all software updating automatically with zero acknowledgement that there is even a cost associated with it is a huge problem. Ostensibly a security practice but now serves as a means for software distributors to extract the maximum value from their users. The pendulum is well overdue for a swing back towards the middle.
Thanks for pointing me out to this. This is a proposed definition of intelligence. Is it the same as the real thing, though? Even assuming that it was:

> Like Solomonoff induction, AIXI is incomputable.

That would mean that computers can, at best, produce an approximation. We know the real thing exists in nature though, so why not take advantage of those competencies?
I see I should have worded my statement better. The article say the eye witness ID'd him, not someone like him. But he obviously saw someone like him and thought it was him since it was not. But we only know that after the fact. It is enough, with all the rest added, to charge someone. Luckily we have due process in the US, and it worked exactly as it was meant too and the charges were dismissed, standard operating procedure. All the fanfare is because the show decided to exploit the story for a documentary where they wrongly claim they are the reason for the charges being dismissed.
How to Add Metaprogramming to Gleam
Ah interesting. How are those different?
Are you sure?

The average brown rat may use only 60 kcal per day, but the maximum firing rate of biological neurons is about 100-1000 Hz rather than the A100 clock speed of about 1.5 GHz*, so the silicon gets through the same data set something like 1.5e6-1.5e7 times faster than a rat could.

Scaling up to account for the speed difference, the rat starts looking comparable to a 9e7 - 9e8 kcal/day, or 4.4 to 44 megawatts, computer.

* and the transistors within the A100 are themselves much faster, because clock speed is ~ how long it takes for all chained transistors to flip in the most complex single-clock-cycle operation

Also I'm not totally confident about my comparison because I don't know how wide the data path is, how many different simultaneous inputs a rat or a transformer learns from
Is this a decent fit for LLM?

“Talk to me in <language> and point out my grammar errors in English”

I imagine it’s risky, learning bad habits. But it seems like it might be very convenient. I believe the biggest issue for me is actually using a language regularly. But I’m way too socially afraid to do one of those “speak to a random person live” things.

Or even some sort of, “translate all my emails to <language>, but show English when I mouse over.”

I bolstered my French by setting almost all my video games to French in university. It helped me a ton, and was accessible because I understood the context.

Translation tech has come a long way. Might not even need LLMs.
As the other reply mentioned, another valid inference would be "it's not clear [that] YouTube can stop him." And as a general rule of thumb, you almost never actually need a grammatical "that"-- it's best to leave it out for brevity unless it's useful to distinguish the meaning of the sentence (typically when the parts before and after it are longer and the demarcation point could be interpreted several ways without it).

It's definitely valid as-is. It's debatable whether it's unclear (what would the alternative meaning be if you think it's unclear?)
> 1. What does inherit limitations mean?

One of many, but this is a simple one - LLMs are only limited to knowledge that is publicly available on the internet. This is "inherit" because thats how LLMs are essentially taught the information they retrieve today.
Is this true? I don't have access to the article, but the Boeing crashes and other general loss of control/CFIT must account for a large percentage. Only stats I could find with a quick search are from Airbus who say LOC is the leading cause over the past 20 years (I can see enough of the WSJ article to see it says "...from 2014", so a decade and not like for like).

> the comparison is not apples-to-apples, because each synapse is much more complex than a single parameter in a weight matrix.
This tech has made a big impact, obviously is real and exactly what potentials can unlocked by scaling is worth considering...

... but calling vector-entries in a tensor flow process "neurons" is at best a very loose analogy while comparing LLM "neuron numbers" to animals and humans is flat-out nonsense.
Secret Deadly Towers Maps Revealed (2006)
Of course the AI's comment was not insightful. How could it be? It's autocomplete.

That was the point. If you back up to the comment I was responding to, you can see the claim was: "maybe people are doing the same thing LLMs are doing". Yet, for whatever reason, many users seemed to be able to pick out the LLM comment pretty easily. If I were to guess, I might say those users did not find the LLM output to be human-quality.

That was exactly the topic under discussion. Some folks seem to have expressed their agreement by downvoting. Ok.
I went to ghostty.org and spent a long time staring at that animated ghost, and thought of clippy. Except this guy seems to have wider range of emotions.

Anyways, I eventually learned this was about a terminal emulator (which is awesome), but the ghost on the front page really inspired my imagination. I think it would be a good thing to have some kind of companion like that, when it's me, by myself, constantly surrounded by terminals all day.
Is the choice of having the ghost be rendered in a text-mode terminal important? I think it is for me.
Or maybe you get to work on this important new thing, instead of whatever dumb thing you were going to be stuck doing.
If different components of the dataset have different units, I would argue that it is a prerequisite of clustering to first specify the relative importance of each particular unit (thereby putting all units on the same scale). Otherwise, there's no way the clustering algorithm could possibly know what to in certain cases (such as the ::: example).

It's true that there is no intrinsic meaning to the scale, but you must specify at least a relative scale -- how you want to compare (or weigh) different units -- before you can meaningfully cluster the data. Clustering can only work on dimensionless data.
Prigozhin was a very different case, not that many people have their own paramilitary organization to defend them. Only other such person I can think of is someone like Kadyrov.

I don't have any answers for you but as an avid climber - you also want to be taking into account the material you are tying knots in. Super static material like dyneema really doesn't like being bent at a tight angle and will lose a lot more strength in a knot than something like nylon. Also thicker material tends to lose less strength (bigger bend radius).

But yeah... beyond that my usual method of understanding a knot is to find the places where one part of the knot constricts another under load, because that generates the friction. For instance the reef knot in the linked article has two collars that bite on two strands of the rope each when pulled, so lots of friction there and it makes sense to me it's very syrong. On the other hand I can't work out how the granny knot is stronger than the thief! Very subtle stuff.

> With zero knowledge of how well-equipped the Russian military is, could they really be so far behind that they're unable to determine the difference between an commercial airlines and a high-speed missile?

It depends a lot on the context (weather, altitude) and equipment (Russia has a lot of equipment, some of it new, some of it old, some of it ancient).

Without minimizing the personal contribution to this disaster of every serviceman, IMHO the blame, first and foremost, rests firmly with whoever the bloody hell decided to keep the airspace open nearly three years into a war. Civilian airspace is open above Chechnya and Dagestan while the VKS is lobing missiles from/from above the Caspian Sea, and planes are landing at Sochi while Novorossiysk gets hit by drones. This is nuts even by post-Soviet standards. There's a very good reason why Ukraine closed their airspace almost right away and continue to keep it closed.

To pre-emptively address the "but that would be too costly" angle: well, maybe that should've been factored in before greenlighting the invasion. Boo-hoo. Does keeping it open look cheap now?

This fad was also helped, I think, by the memory architectures of the day. Without modern multilevel caches and ridiculously expensive cache misses, it might have seemed reasonable to converge on a one-size-fits-all structure. The cost of jumping around a relatively compact structure like a hash table probably seemed immaterial at the time.

Yes I get that but did OpenAI ever take any public donations from society? I don't think they did. It thought it was only funded by wealthy private donors.

They received benefits by dint of their status. If there were no such benefits they wouldn’t have incorporated that way.

In any case, would creating a new company (i.e. ClosedAI) that recruits OpenAI's employees and buys the intellectual property such that it leaves a "shell" of OpenAI be acceptable?

There’s no problem with recruiting employees. The intellectual property purchase is problematic. If it’s for sale, it should be for sale to anyone and no one connected to a bidder should be involved in evaluating offers.

The existing laws allow for non-profit 501c3 organizations to "convert" (scare quotes) to for-profit status by re-incorporating to a (new) for-profit company. That seems to be Sam's legal roadmap.

> In the KAL shootdowns, the Soviets intercepted, saw that they were airliners, and shot them down anyway.

As I understand the pilot in the KAL 007 shoot down claimed that he visually identified the plane as a Boeing-type airliner years later, but also claimed he did not report that to control because it was not material since such aircraft could be readily converted to intelligence work which was what was the concern for which it was being intercepted. There is no additional support for this, and lots of things the pilot claimed about the incident are inconsistent with the evidence from radar tracks, flight data recorders of the shot down plane, and the records of the Soviet communications relating to the attack, so this particular unverifiable claim probably shouldn't be given much weight.

KAL 902, sure, we know that the pilot identified it as an airliner, tried to convince command not to have it shot down, but then followed the order to shoot it down.
